coming in today? >> i did not. >> you got to look around. >> you got to get into it. [ laughter ] >> check it out! yeah. we have a little more fog around the bay area today. it looks like we're in for a cooler day. we'll have more on that coming up, liz. >> thanks, lawrence. we'll go outside towards the bay bridge toll plaza. as you can see, it's still super light at 4:30 coming into san francisco. we'll get a check of your overnight roadwork coming up. >> thank you. caltrans is expected to talk today about those bad bolts on the new bay bridge span. the bolts started snapping last month and as kpix 5's anne makovec reports, experts warn more are in jeopardy of failing. not good news this morning, anne. >> reporter: transportation authorities are having their third meeting this very important issue today. and, of course, we're just a few months away from the new span scheduled opening. basically this new expert is warning that more of these steel rods could snap in case of an earthquake if we don't

see more of them snap before that happens. more may break. "contra costa times" is quoting a metallurgist, slamming them that inattention and ignorance led to the problem. 288 rods many faulty were installed into the east pier of the bridge, 32 snapping in march. chung tells the bay area news group, quote, it is very apparent that no one was paying attention to the possibility of hydrogen em brittlement when the rods were in service and says from what i see in the documents, dyson gave caltrain what it asked for. caltrans fell on its face." he thinks a different grade of steel should have been chosen for this project.

other experts agree. they say they should be replaced as soon as possible. he is also recommending some new testing procedures. his advice to transportation officials is completely unsolicited. he just said that he felt he needed to say something in this situation. anne makovec, kpix 5. >> those are strong words. how seriously is taking this expert's advice and his findings? >> reporter: they have read through his long report and they say they are going to be meeting with him monday morning. but they are balancing it with what their experts with saying, as well. >> all right. anne makovec live on treasure island, thank you. new this morning, there's been two deadly shootings in oakland in the last 24 hours. the first happened in east oakland yesterday afternoon. the second shooting was last night around 10:20. 13th street and broadway downtown. bart police evacuated passengers and closed the 12th street station to look for the

shooters. the station reopened within an hour. the suspects still on the loose. a new suspect is under investigation for the ricin letters sent to washington. paul kevin curtis was arrested last week and charged with sending poisoned letters to president obama and two other elected officials. those charges were dropped after the fbi couldn't find any evidence in curtis' home. >> when you've been charged with something, you just -- you never heard of ricin or whatever. i thought they said rice and so i said i don't even eat rice. >> now the fbi is searching the home of another mississippi man. they say this new suspect knows curtis and holds a grudge against him so he may have tried to frame him. police have finally reopened boylston street for the first time since last week's bombings at the boston marathon. cbs reporter edward lawrence says marathon victims held a private memorial at the bombing site. reporter: the barricades came down early this morning on boylston street the site of

last week's deadly marathon bombings. prior to opening the area, police escorted bombing victims to the scene for a private ceremony tuesday night. >> when you're face to face with the people directly affected and you see the bandages, you just feel what they feel. >> reporter: these new photos appear to show the suspect 26- year-old tamerlan tsarnaev and his 19-year-old brother johar in a shootout with people friday. tamerlan was killed. johar was captured later hiding in a bow. dzhokhar tsarnaev was taken here to beth israel medical center with gunshot wounds. he was upgraded to fair condition tuesday allowing interrogators to ask him more questions about the events leading up to the bombings. cbs news has learned tsarnaev told investigators he and his brother were motivated through online jihadist websites. officials believe they may have read an internet publication with stories such as how to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom. >> a problem now is since 9/11,

transnational recruiting through the internet for sympathizers that are in our country. >> reporter: the investigation led officials to this store in new hampshire. tamerlan bought fireworks here six weeks before the marathon. >> he definitely stressed that he wanted the biggest loudest stuff. >> reporter: officials believe the tsarnaevs may have used the black powder from the fireworks to build the bombs. edward lawrence for cbs news, boston. officials in the fireworks corporate office say they don't believe the brothers could get enough black powder from their fireworks to make the bombs that were used in boston. the mother of the tsarnaev brothers insists there is no way her sons were involved. in an interview with a britain news station, the mother claims her sons were set up. >> what happened is a terrible thing but i know that my kids have nothing to do with it. i know this. i'm mother. i have -- you know, i know my kids. i know my kids. i -- my kids would never get

involved into anything like that. >> russia flagged the elder tsarnaev as a possible islamist radical in 2011. the fbi questioned him at moscow's request, but found nothing out of the ordinary. $20 million has already been raised for the one fund for the boston marathon bombing victims and the upcoming bay to breakers race will add even more money. organizers will donate $5 to the fund for every person who registers between now and noon tomorrow. so if you are going to do it, it's a good time. more than 30,000 people will run the annual 12k race on sunday may 19. more on the boston bombing case and the picture that tells the story all that coming up at kpix.com. take a look right there. 4:36. early and it's already -- i think it feels good out there. >> kind of cooled down a bit. it was a better sleeping night. >> i agree. we see the sea breeze kick in and temperatures drop off after nice days. the heat was nice but

temperatures beginning to cool down a bit and some more patchy fog has managed to sneak onshore. not only along the coastline, but some of that inside the bay. all signs pointing to a cooler day. patchy fog in the distance toward oakland just patchy right now but otherwise temperatures cool in spots. 48 in concord. 50 in san jose. warm toward livermore. 77 in san jose, 60 in san francisco. more on your weather coming up. right now let's check the roads with elizabeth. >> thank you, lawrence. and outside right now you're taking a look at the golden gate bridge and they are doing some lane work out there right now so you see a few flashing lights but overall traffic is moving at the limit this morning out of marin county. let's go to the san mateo bridge where also things are pretty quiet this morning. we are not seeing too many big accidents out there which is great news so "timesaver traffic" cameras showing about a 14-minute drive time out of

hayward heading towards foster city. we still have some areas of overnight roadwork a lot of it being picked up in the next 20 minutes or so but if you are coming up the nimitz in oakland northbound 880 approaching high street, that's where you will find various lanes blocked. again, caltrans telling us 5- ish for the next 20 minutes or so they plan to pick up the cones. westbound 580 through the altamont pass so far no delay out of 205 and looks good all the way through the livermore valley. that is your "timesaver traffic." back to you guys. >> thank you. a bogus tweet about a terror attack on the white house sent stocks into a tailspin yesterday. a hacker group is claiming responsibility for the fake alert that caused the dow to lose about 150 points almost instantly. the tweet was distributed through the "associated press" twitter page. kpix 5 reporter cate caugiran is in san francisco to explain how a single tweet could hit the market so hard. cate. >> reporter: this whole

incident left a few major takeaways. the first one is the power twitter has over wall street and th markets. second our vulnerability and twitter's vulnerability. this is the latest in a high- profile twitter akta . our own cbs "60 minutes" was a recent victim of the same crime. so what is twitter doing? the microblogging site announced plans to introduce a two-factor authentication option. it's the same security facebook and google uses. analysts say it's about time. >> it's too easy to hackneying but it's definitely too easy to hack twitter. they are still relying on very simple passwords. >> now, the two-step process requires users logging in from a new location to give a password and information sent to an already registered device. and we know now the fbi is investigating this incident

after a group called the syrian liberation army is claiming responsibility for these attacks. reporting live in san francisco, back to you in the studio. >> what is twitter saying about it? >> reporter: twitter declined to comment to kpix 5. they say it's for privacy reasons they are not going to talk more about the specifics about users. but the ap says they are working with the social media seas to investigate how this happened. >> thank you, cate caugiran. stock markets were pushed higher by earnings reports yesterday. apple did slightly better than expected. its stock is as you know down $300 from the record high it set back in september. nevertheless apple says it will distribute $100 billion to shareholders by the end of 2015. apple is also buying back $60 billion of its own stock. time now 4:40. coming up, how thousands of people could be affected by a water emergency. plus -- >> i know the feeling.

i know the anxiety. >> the governor talking to crime victims. what happened to him that proves no one is immune. >> and it's an extreme case of road rage. what made this driver go over the edge? ,,

surveillance video... relead by a serious case of road rage when you least expect it in an alley. check the surveillance video released by the beverly hills police department. the white bmw going after the cyclist in the alley. the driver hits the man, pins him up against a metal trash bin. the cyclist was injured and should be okay. an earlier fight between the men sparked the incident. in beverly hills. crazy. >> that is not good. all right. let's get another check on the weather, right? >> let's kick it over to lawrence. >> more fog and low clouds showing up. we are going to watch the

numbers coming down. still comfortable toward the afternoon. more fog at the coastline some making its way inside the bay this morning. so some patchy fog and some partly cloudy skies outside early on thick approaching the coastline. mostly sunny and coastal fog cooler temperatures and then more fog and some more cooling as we head in toward tomorrow, as well. out over the bay right now you can just make out some of that fog as you look toward the oakland area. we'll see patchy fog throughout the morning thickening up a little bit and then it will tis pay the toward the middle of the morning. the temperatures in the 40s and low 50s now. high pressure still the dominant feature but see that low that's undercutting that ridge is helping to amplify some of the low clouds and fog. warming up on the weekend. 88 degrees in sacramento and sunny, 89 fresno, 75 yosemite, 61 monterey bay. low clouds and fog thickening

up a bit and throughout the day kind of hugging the coastline on and off and then as we head in toward this evening again, we'll see more clouds and fog on the way for tomorrow. so the temperatures going to be coming down the next couple of days. 73 in fremont. 59 with fog in pacifica. 70s into much of the east bay. inside the bay cooler, 60 in san francisco, 59 in daly city. next couple of days, we'll see those temperatures bottoming out then slowly warm up come friday and saturday. a little cooler come sunday but maybe back to some 80s as we look toward the beginning of next week. all right. let's check the roads with elizabeth. >> okay. and we're going to start off once again with another live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. it looks good this morning. no big issues, no big delays, no metering lights. and i'm not seeing much roadwork. the drive time is 18 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the maze.

this is a live look through berkeley. overnight roadwork various lanes blocked through richmond but this is the eastshore freeway and it's still all green on our live traffic sensors. here's a live look at the milpitas ride 880/237. for silicon valley valley commuters coming around the bend so far good towards sunnyvale. so yeah, we're fortunate this morning that we don't see any huge hot spots. just to let you know if you are driving if the south bay 101, 280 and the guadalupe parkway you may find some overnight roadwork but again everything is still moving at the limit. at the powell street station in san francisco that stocked ellis entrance is closed for the next five years beginning today. it's also known as the apple store end trans. it's making way for the new subway construction. so the stockton ellis apple store entrance closed today. all bart trains systemwide on time. muni, caltrain and ace train

number one also got a great start out of stockton so everything reporting no delay. that's a check of traffic. back to you guys. >> all right, elizabeth. thank you. saving millions of gallons of water is the goal of emergency measures in santa cruz. the city council there declared a stage 1 water shortage alert yesterday. the stage 1 alert means hose versus to have nozzles, restaurants can't serve water unless asked, and people with new pools cannot fill them until fall. the measures take effect may 1. the problem is because of the dry winter. >> with the extreme lack of rainfall between january 1 and mid-april, our flowing sources which is the main source for the san lorenzo river are running low. >> santa cruz gets most of its water from the san lorenzo river and its level is about half of what it should be right now. the three boys accused of sexually assaulting and distributing photos of saratoga teen audrie pott are being electronically monitored on

for crime victims rights yesterday. >> i know the feeling. i know the anxiety. and i want to do nothing more than make this place safe. but i got to make it actually happen. >> brown says three men tried to break into his house in oakland last year and he says the men claimed they were looking to buy real estate so police let them go. state assemblyman tom ammiano has drafted a homeless bill of rights. it's in response to tent city removals and sit-lie laws. the idea here is to give the homeless legal protections when engaging in "life-activities." his bill would let homeless sit, eat and even panhandle unless the city or county can provide a place to stay and at least one year of services. >> just being homeless not criminal. there are behaviors that are criminal that homeless people do as well as -- as well as people who are the know homeless. we are looking more for

solutions that are not punitive but rehabilitative. >> opponents say it would burden cities with costs and legal liabilities. a bill to allow california bars to stay open later died in committee. it would have loved local governments to decide whether -- it would have allowed local governments to decide whether to allow alcohol sales until 4 a.m. mark leno was behind the bill. he says the move would have attracted more tourists away from places like las vegas. leno tried and failed to get the same bill passed back in 2004. another bill involved beverages has a committee hearing in sacramento this morning. a carmel state senator would impose a penny per ounce tax on sugary drinks. it would raise $2.6 billion to be used to fight childhood obesity. the next time you're craving a whopper you can have it your way and you can have it delivered. bk on the run.

[ laughter ] coming up, the push to protect yosemite heads to washington, d.c. >> and cut down trees on your property, pay a $52,000 fine. the pricy lesson for one bay

low clouds and fog starting to stretch along the coastline and the bay. what does it mean for our weather today? we'll talk about that coming up. >> and outside right now, checking some of our sensors through the altamont pass and livermore, words of an accident approaching north greenville. speeds may be slow behind it. we are checking about it now. more "timesaver traffic" coming up. if you think your town isn't serious about trees, think again. a man in woodside got rid of some trees on his own property.

then he got a fine to the tune of $52,000. back in december, contractors at a home on jane drive cut down six trees without a permit but a woodside loft stops wealthy home buyers from clear- cutting lots and building mansions. the man said the trees were unhealthy. >> it was a mistake. i listened to people that i thought knew what that's were talking about. i'm appealing to your good nature. >> the fine was reduced to $26,000. officials delivered two notices to stop the work. the cost of a permit to legally cut down a tree in woodside, 50 bucks. >> wow. >> a lot of money. >> well, he did save a few bucks by talking to them. 4:55 now. yosemite national park could be expanding for the first time in 70 years. senator dianne feinstein and representative jim koch
